Noisy room
We liked the room but we slept very badly due to the noise of the outside boiler and the vent in the bathroom.

Couples night away
We had a great one night stay, room was lovrly, tastefully decorated, confy bed, soft fluffy towels, great tea and coffee facilities. Perfect location for the town. Reception staff were lovely. Only downside was lack of offerings in the bar, quite limited and not the friendliest response when we enquired about a certain drink.

Lovely stay in St Albans. Good location to the shops, restaurants, cafes, train line. Front desk staff was very nice. Really soft towels in the washroom as well. If you’re on level one, you may hear a fair amount of noise from the floor above.

Old cities present challenges
Hotel is somewhat difficult to navigate if you arrive with a car. You have to navigate your way through streets One way streets. There’s no easy way to pull up in front of the hotel and unload also if you have any mobility issues the front door of the building requires the guest to climb steps manually open doors three in fact. Saint Alban‘s is a very old city and many of the building exteriors are protected. So I don’t necessarily blame the hotel for the entrance difficulties. Once you checked in the rooms are very comfortable clean and modern the bathroom was excellent. The shower was great. Going back to the car issue. They claimed to have parking which they do however, It requires the guest to park offsite, which is about a quarter of a mile away. So, Be prepared to walk a bit.

Lovely small hotel, clearly recently refurbished, in an excellent location for the centre of St Albans, parking on site or a short walk away. Great rooms and an excellent breakfast.

Lovely hotel, great location, staff are great, food excellent. Rooms a bit small, but nice. Only real problem is the carpark isn't well lit, and at night it is very easy to fall into potholes (as I did) and potentially hurt yourself.

Good value and friendly staff
Really friendly and helpful and despite a maintenance issue for the hotel with water supply everyone was helpful and advised of the issue while being resolved. Did not adversely effect the stay and appreciate things happen.

comfortable city stay
Go here several times a year as we have family nearby. Very comfortable. Every time I book they send me an email saying to ask about complimentary upgrades when we check in and every time I ask they say no. Would be nice if just the once they would upgrade us since we have been there over a dozen times.

The hotel was really lovely inside. Almost like a tardis. The staff were so nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was great, and when it came to breakfast, we couldnt fault it. Plenty of choice and a waiter who was very attentive. Overall a great stay and we'll be back again in October

Fabulous location! Breakfast not included and extremely expensive to have breakfast at Hotel. Would have liked a small fridge in the room. Parking a bonus but hit and miss to get the parking closest to hotel. Great stay!
